You will need to make use of an HTTP library such as Apache HTTPClient The api of indiviual libraries vary a little bit, but in general they provide you all the tools you need to set up an HTTP POST, GET, etc with complete control over headers, content, query, etc and most (including HTTPClient) have support for complex authentication methods and support HTTPS connections.

Depending on the complexity of the OP's needs pure Java may well be sufficient. – Boris the Spider Sep 21 '13 at 14:03

You can make use of Spring RESTClient. See this : http://www.springbyexample.org/examples/contact-rest-services-client.html
